So do we just pick one from the list or all the ones that we think should stay?

I'll give this round to Blue Rodeo - Diamond Mine (radio edit). Not since Sam Roberts has there been a more beautifully sung simile/metaphor about a mine shaft. Oh yeah, honorable mention to Rita McNeil.

Mike, this is no small feat...

Definitely 5440 I go blind

Ok, here's what I'm doing... I'm going through my collection alphabetically. CanCon on compilation discs won't come until I hit "V" for various.

I'll keep doing that - when I hit a band like 54-40, I'll just post the songs I think could make the top 100.

You guys can play this either way: you can yell at me for posting a horrible song or tell me I missed a song from an artist I've covered.

The main rule is there are no rules.

Of all the BNL songs, I hate Brian Wilson the most. Any other track besides that one please! I don't know what the big deal was about that song. If you're only taking from Gordon, how about Hello City, Enid, $1Million, Be My Yoko Ono, What a Good Boy. If not, how about The Old Apartment, Pinch Me or One Week.

My definitive Blue Rodeo song would actually be Lost Together, but that's just me.

P.S. I love "Drinking in L.A." It's a great track!

I hope you will have some Kon Kan and Dream Warriors on your list.

Lost Together is a great song - definitely worthy of consideration.

Brian Wilson is probably my favourite BNL tune. Other BNL tunes will definitely be considered, I love The Old Apartment...

I know it will be awhile before you arrive at Tom Cochrane, and the obvious choice for him might be "Life is a Highway", but I think his best tune was "Big League". I still sometimes get shivers during the final verse:

Sometimes at night I can hear the ice crack,
Sounds like thunder, rips through my back,
Sometimes in the morning I can still hear the sound,
Ice meets metal,
Won't you take me down to the big league.

A great piece of Canadiana. Too bad, Tom can't sing anymore.

Dude, I'm with you on Big League. I get shivers too. I like Victory Day, too. Boy Inside the Man deserves some props as well.

Mad mad world all the way. (kidding). For BNL tracks I think my all time fave is lovers in a dangerous time. Was that a Canadian song originally?

Yep, so I'd probably have to propose the Bruce Cockburn original... although that BNL version is awesome.

I can't wait to post another ten tonight!

Cowboy Junkies - Misguided Angel

Cowboy Junkies - Misguided Angel

No doubt, Misguided Angel will crack the top 100. Sweetest Cowboy Junkies tune ever...

Here's my votes from this list:
Wake Up - Arcade Fire (which they didn't play at last night's show for some reason)
Try and Diamond Mine - Blue Rodeo
1/2 votes go to:
Black Velvet and You Oughta Know, but these are only grudgingly. The both had influence and commercial appeal which is important to recognize, too (I guess)
I Go Blind - 54-40, but again kind of grudgingly as this song was made more famous by the terribly tepid American bandwhoshallnotbenamed.
The rest of those songs are kinda eh, and while some are better than others, not really of the 100 best of all time worthy, imho.
I'm going to run over to the new list and be all opinionated over there too!

Shoot, that was me above (as if you couldn't tell this time by the pompous music blah-blahing.)
